2002 Lufkin Trailer recalls
Recall 05V-485: Suspension
Problem: On certain van trailers equipped with tuthill trailer suspensions, model reyco rs3162, the beam/axle pivot connection joint is mis-aligned causing excessive play with the trailer allowing the trailer to wander.
Risk: A vehicle crash can occur should the trailer wander without notice.
Fix: Lufkin is working with tuthill to notify the owners of the affected vehicles and provide free remedy. The recall began on november 11, 2005. Owners may contact tuthill at 800-753-0025 or lufkin at 1-936-634-2211.
Recall 03V-370: Service Brakes, Air
Problem: On certain trailers equipped with bendix ec-30t electronic control units (Ecu). If the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp circuit experiences an electrical short and the short is not repaired, the high side power switch inside the ECU that controls the illumination of the trailer-mounted ABS warning lamp may eventually become thermally stressed and experience an electrical short.
Risk: If the power switch shorts, it can result in an over-current condition in the ECU and lead to excessive heat, smoke, and possible fire.
Fix: Bendix will provide a remedy kit and detailed instructions and also provide a labor allowance for the repair. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact bendix at 1-800-478-1793 or lufkin at 936-634-2211.
